* Then drew near (5713 ) (5723 ) unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear (5721 ) him . * And the Pharisees and scribes murmured (5707 ), saying (5723 ), This man receiveth (5736 ) sinners , and eateth (5719 ) with them . * And he spake (5627 ) this parable unto them , saying (5723 ), * What man of you , having (5723 ) an hundred sheep , if he lose (5660 ) one of them , doth not leave (5719 ) the ninety and nine in the wilderness , and go (5736 ) after that which is lost (5756 ), until he find (5632 ) it ? * And when he hath found (5631 ) it , he layeth (5719 ) it on his shoulders , rejoicing (5723 ). * And when he cometh (5631 ) home , he calleth together (5719 ) his friends and neighbours , saying (5723 ) unto them , Rejoice (5645 ) with me ; for I have found (5627 ) my sheep which was lost (5756 ). * I say (5719 ) unto you , that likewise joy shall be (5704 ) in heaven over one sinner that repenteth (5723 ), more than over ninety and nine just persons , which need (5719 ) no repentance . * Either what woman having (5723 ) ten pieces of silver , if she lose (5661 ) one piece , doth not light (5719 ) a candle , and sweep (5719 ) the house , and seek (5719 ) diligently till she find (5632 ) it ? * And when she hath found (5631 ) it , she calleth her friends and her neighbours together (5731 ), saying (5723 ), Rejoice (5645 ) with me ; for I have found (5627 ) the piece which I had lost (5656 ). * Likewise , I say (5719 ) unto you , there is (5736 ) joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth (5723 ). * And he said (5627 ), A certain man had (5707 ) two sons : * And the younger of them said (5627 ) to his father , Father , give (5628 ) me the portion of goods that falleth (5723 ) to me . And he divided (5627 ) unto them his living . * And not many days after the younger son gathered all together (5631 ), and took his journey (5656 ) into a far country , and there wasted (5656 ) his substance with riotous living (5723 ). * And when he had spent (5660 ) all , there arose (5633 ) a mighty famine in that land ; and he began (5662 ) to be in want (5745 ). * And he went (5679 ) and joined himself (5681 ) to a citizen of that country ; and he sent (5656 ) him into his fields to feed (5721 ) swine . * And he would fain (5707 ) have filled (5658 ) his belly with the husks that the swine did eat (5707 ): and no man gave (5707 ) unto him .
